Album Review: Birdee’s So Good – A 2014 House Gem That’s Still Bangin’
Let’s cut to the chase: Birdee’s So Good isn’t just a title—it’s a vibe. Released in 2014 under the cheeky Vicious Bitch label, this little nugget of electronic gold is all about that House and Electro House swagger. No frills, no pretentiousness—just straight-up beats designed to make your feet move and your brain chill. And honestly? It works.
The OG track, “So Good,” slaps harder than you’d expect from its name. It’s got this infectious groove that worms its way into your head and refuses to leave (not that you'd want it to). The bassline? Juuuust right—deep enough to feel but not so heavy it crushes your soul. Then there’s the melody—simple yet slick, like someone handed the synths a shot of espresso and told them to have fun. You remember this one because it feels like the soundtrack to every good night out you’ve ever had. Or maybe that’s just me.
Now let’s talk remixes. Punks Jump Up take “So Good” and flip it into something entirely fresh with their remix. They crank up the energy, throw in some bouncy elements, and boom—you’ve got yourself a track that could wake up a hibernating bear. It’s playful, punchy, and kinda reminds me of those late-night dance floors where everyone forgets they have jobs in the morning. Meanwhile, Filterkat’s remix leans more on the moody side, adding layers of texture that give the tune an almost cinematic feel. If you’re looking for depth without losing the party vibe, this one’s your guy.
What makes So Good stick in my mind isn’t just how catchy it is—it’s how unapologetically itself it is. There’s no overthinking here, no desperate attempt to be trendy or groundbreaking. It’s pure, unfiltered house music that knows exactly what it wants to do: make you move. And honestly? We need more albums like this in the world—ones that don’t try too hard but still deliver big time.
Fun fact: listening to this album made me realize I should probably dust off my old disco ball. Also, if anyone tells you house music is dead, shove these tracks in their face. They’ll thank you later—or at least stop talking nonsense.
Final thought: If Birdee dropped another album tomorrow, I’d drop everything to listen. Even if it meant skipping Taco Tuesday. Now THAT’S saying something.
